" If M droops true DVD-A support (all digital) where is the competitive edge ?
this was unique. "

I , too , have no intention of dropping my DVD-A collection , 5.1 mlp is my favourite way of listening . Maybe it's my time of life , or the world we live in , but I really like HAVING to sit and listen and these tracks force that on you . I don't think you can compare the Stereo DVD-A tracks to a good Discrete 5.1 and as for the lossy Dolby/dts tracks I never use them . The 'presence' or 'solidity' that Trifield brings is naturally there in a good 5.1 .

All of which is , of course ,is personal opinion . I don't believe Meridian should be dropping these functionalities anyway . Instead of standing out from the crowd they will end up just merging into it .

Mostly harmless. Comfortably numb.
